Data Engineer

Data Engineer - Monq We are looking for brilliant engineers to join our team at Monq. We're pushing the boundaries of AI with next-generation agentic systems that can autonomously negotiate high-value enterprise contracts. We're focusing on a $4.2 trillion market of strategic procurement that has been largely untouched by AI innovation. Our mission is to transform how enterprises negotiate their most critical deals, turning strategic procurement from a manual, gut-driven process into a competitive advantage powered by intelligent AI agents. About the Role Data Engineers are the backbone of Monq. They design, build, and maintain the scalable data infrastructure that powers our autonomous negotiation agents. You'll work closely with AI engineers, product teams, and procurement domain experts to transform complex contract data, vendor information, and negotiation histories into structured, reliable insights that drive intelligent decision-making across our platform. We're creating the data foundation for AI agents to parse multi-dimensional deal terms, benchmark contract conditions, and optimise negotiation outcomes in high-stakes enterprise environments. This role is an opportunity to work on deeply technical challenges with real-world impact in Fortune 500 procurement operations. What You Will Do Build Enterprise Contract Data Infrastructure: - Design and operate performant, scalable ingestion pipelines processing high-volume contract data, vendor databases, and procurement system integrations from Fortune 500 enterprises - Create sophisticated data parsing systems for complex legal/procurement documents, multi-dimensional deal terms, and procurement workflow data - Build real-time data feeds supporting autonomous negotiation agents and strategic decision-making dashboards Manage Strategic Procurement Data Architecture: - Define, evolve, and manage data schemas for contract intelligence, vendor benchmarking, and negotiation performance analytics—from raw contract staging to high-quality feature stores for AI agents - Build comprehensive contract data catalogues ensuring discoverability and lineage tracking for complex procurement datasets - Design data models that support multi-dimensional optimisation across price, terms, risk, timeline, and relationship factors Ensure Enterprise-Grade Data Operations: - Build end-to-end monitoring and observability for mission-critical negotiation data pipelines: owning data quality, latency, completeness, and lineage for $1M+ contract processes - Champion secure, governed data practices for sensitive enterprise contract information: advanced access controls, secrets management, encrypted data-in-transit/at-rest, and compliance with enterprise security frameworks - Implement robust audit trails and data governance for high-stakes negotiation processes Enable AI-Powered Negotiation: - Collaborate closely with AI, Platform, and Product teams, provisioning datasets, feature tables, and contracts that power autonomous negotiation agents at scale - Build data infrastructure supporting real-time contract analysis, vendor research automation, and strategic negotiation planning - Create data pipelines that integrate with major procurement systems (SAP, Oracle, Coupa, GEP) and enterprise workflows Drive Operational Excellence: - Continuously improve efficiency and reliability via comprehensive testing, CI/CD automation, cost/performance tuning for enterprise-scale deployments - Lead incident response and root-cause analysis for data systems supporting critical procurement negotiations - Optimise data infrastructure costs while maintaining enterprise-grade performance and reliability standards About Monq Monq is building the first AI platform specifically designed for strategic procurement negotiation. We're creating a blue ocean in a $4.2 trillion market that has been ignored by existing AI solutions. Our team brings together deep technical expertise in AI with proven experience in enterprise software and procurement. We're backed by forward-thinking investors who understand the massive opportunity in applying advanced AI to high-value B2B negotiations. With several major enterprises joining us, we're positioned to become the category-defining platform for AI-powered procurement. We are founded and backed by Revolut and HSBC executives.
